01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Manila Barbershop's Google Business Listing shows a below-average health score of 3.0 out of 10. The listing is claimed, with a visible phone number and full address, and the listing status is open-for-business. The most notable findings are strong attention to address and contact details, but missing website link and logo likely limit customer engagement and brand visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 3
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.

Probably without doubt the best haircut and beard trim I've ever had. Excellent attention to detail and precision. Definitely worth the trip down from Auckland for a haircut.

Response from the owner

Hi johnboy, thank you for your 5 star and excellent review. Thanks again

Where customers find you

Manila Barbershop shows an above-average health score with solid social presence and recent strengths. Facebook is very strong and Fresha contributes additional visibility. Opportunities focus on expanding profiles like Yellow, NoSecretSalon and LinkedIn, plus maintaining the Instagram and TikTok trust. Overall, improvements should aim to broaden directory reach while keeping the current trusted channels active.

Strengths

  • ✓

    A cover photoYour page opens with a cover photo rather than a blank banner, so the first impression a visitor gets is your own work.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Where your page link pointsNothing in your page details points at a website, so a visitor who has read your posts and wants prices, hours or a booking form has nowhere to go next but back to search - where your competitors are waiting.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Manila Barbershop's opening hours largely align with local demand: 60 weekly peak hours are covered and there are no low-demand open hours. Strong alignment is clear on late-morning to early-afternoon peaks, notably Tuesday 11-12pm and Saturday 11am-1pm. Missed opportunities are mainly on Sunday afternoons (3-5pm) and early evenings on Tuesday and Thursday (6pm), which could be worth extending to capture extra bookings.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Hours aligned with demandNo business here matches the demand around it more closely than you do - you are open when people are looking and shut when they are not.

Where we can help

Nothing to sort here. Your hours already line up with when people are looking.
